The end is near

DESTIN, FL - - That's probably not the most interesting title I could have come up with. But, in the grand scheme of things we have about 420 miles left in our journey home. We've gone from "The Last Frontier" to the "Sunshine State" in a meandering, round about way with plenty of time to sightsee. Except for the last four days where the scenery has zipped past at (usually) 70mph. That was how I saw the half-buried Cadillacs in Texas, the "Welcome To" signs of a whole lot of states and lots and lots of Route 66 advertising.

So now we're in Destin: The beach is half a mile away, the clouds are dark, it's blowing rain and we don't feel like getting into the Honda anymore today. Tomorrow, we'll summon up the energy to make one last rush home to Ormond.

    The title was quite alarmingly. It's good to know that you were only talking about the drive to your destination. LOL.
